True Beauty
Queen Nefertiti of Egypt has a face more famous than her name. A powerful woman while she lived some 3 thousand years ago, Nefertiti’s name apparently meant ‘A beautiful woman has arrived.’ There is a well known bust of her that even now has men at each other’s throats.  It was discovered in the sands of Egypt by a German archeologist and now both Germany and Egypt lay claim to it. Neither country wants to back down. They all want to own the face of Nefertiti, called by many, The Most Beautiful Woman In The World.

But what is beauty exactly? And what makes a person beautiful? One Hollywood producer claimed that ultra skinny Audrey Hepburn was so gorgeous she could make bosoms unfashionable. It’s been said that Marilyn Monroe for all her photogenic loveliness would have problems getting into movies now, being a generous size 12-14. I remember a South Korean dignitary shrugging when he met Princess Diana; ‘Too tall, big nose,’ was his summary.

One thing I’ve learned is that everyone has their own idea of beauty. Another is that a smile is the best beauty treatment a face can get. And it’s free!

Nefertiti’s face is famous, but she wasn’t the greatest seductress to come out of Egypt: It was Cleopatra VIII who talked so many top Romans out of their togas. She was not considered beautiful as such. She was pretty enough but her power was charisma; Cleopatra was a fascinating conversationalist, witty, intelligent and, uh, shall we say, memorable as a boudour companion!

So much of our self esteem is tied up with our idea of beauty. Isn’t it strange how, when someone rejects us, the first thing we think is that we’re not good looking enough? How do you feel about your power of attraction? Do you see it or do you shrink away? Were you taught that it’s vain to want to be beautiful? Or is the pressure to fit in and look good too much for all of us?  Join us today, and let’s talk about true beauty.
